1. Connect an ethernet cable from your network router into the LAN port on the back of the NVR. 2. Connect the 12VDC power to the NVR via the port on the back. The NVR will boot up. 3. The NVR will utilize DHCP to get an automatically assigned IP address on the network. Use the ClareVision app on mobile, or the IP Search Tool on a desktop computer to �nd this. 4. Click the Search button on the IP Search Tool and it will bring up a list of any ClareVision devices connected to your network, including your NVR.

Note: The IP Search Tool only works on Windows PCs.

5. Navigate to the NVR’s IP address in a web browser. You will be prompted to create a new password. Choose a secure password that you will remember. After setting a new password, you can log in with the username “admin” and the password that you created.
